Early modern globalization was built on a highly labour intensive
infrastructure. This book looks at the millions of workers who were
needed to operate the ships, ports, store houses, forts and
factories crucial to local and global exchange. These sailors,
soldiers, craftsmen and slaves were crucial to globalization but
were also confronted with the process of globalization themselves.
They were often migrants who worked, directly or indirectly, for
trading companies, merchants and producers that tried to discipline
and control their labour force. The contributors to this volume
offer an integrated, thematic study of the global history of
desertion in European, Atlantic and Asian contexts. By tracing and
comparing acts and patterns of desertion across empires, economic
systems, regions and types of workers, Desertion in the Early
Modern World illuminates the crucial role of practices of desertion
among workers in shaping the history of imperial and economic
expansion in the early modern period.
